iPhone X Can’t add or delete a contact from a group text iOS 11/ 12

iPhone X/8/7/6 users are
facing issue in group text management that after they have created the group
and added members, they can’t remove anyone from the group text message. This is really annoying that you cannot leave
the group or delete a person from a group message. This is really buggy that tyu
had to delete the entire group and start over only because one of my contacts is
bad. Even with the latest iOS 11 and iPhone X the similar issue is faced when
you won’t be able to delete any contact number from the group text.

If you have accidentally a
wrong number in a group chat added and this poor person keeps getting texts and
can’t remove him/her from group chat. You can’t add or remove people from group
chat, and neither can they remove themselves.

There are no response
from the Apple in this issue and the issue was first reported with iOS 10 and
now again seen in group text iOS 11. Actually the issue is reported by many
iPhone users when a user in the group is non-iPhone (android, etc.) and their
messages are coming through SMS or MMS, then the usual remove option will not
be available. You can only remove a contact from a group text if everyone in
the group is using iMessage. There are different problems that users are facing
as detailed below :

-how do I delete or
remove a contact from a group on iphone

-how to delete a group
chat on iphone

-how to remove someone
from imessage group chat

-how do you add a
contact to a group on iphone?

-how to edit a group
text on iphone

-add contact from text
message iphone ios 11

-remove person from
group text iphone iOS 11

What seems like that If
all of the members or the group are using iMessage, you can remove someone
usingbelow steps. If anyone in the group is using SMS, you
cannot remove anyone.

To remove/delete a user
contact from group message:

1. Tap the group
conversation that has the contact you want to remove.

2. Tap User uploaded
file, then swipe left over the name of the person you want to remove.

3. Tap Delete, then tap done.
Please remember these steps are only for groups when all member are iPhone
users.

How to remove a user from group text in iPhone :

Fix 1:Check your member
device type

Please note that Apple
has given you that option in imessage group thread ie. blue bubbles and all
participate are using an Apple device. But if it’s a MMS group message ie.
green text and mixed iPhone and non-iPhone user then you can't remove someone
from a group conversation

The conditions to delete
a user from the group text needs to meet are as follows:

1. Everyone is actively
using iMessage (your sent messages will appear in blue if this is the case,
green if not)

2. There are already at
least three other people, not including yourself.

If the group
conversation does not meet both of these conditions, you will not be able to
remove people from the conversation.

In case you are looking
for a way to delete a non-Apple (eg andorid) user from group text
please raise a concern with your phone carrier as MMS is a carrier feature and
not Apples.

Fix 2: Delete the whole group
message

If you want to delete
the users at any cost, In that case you will need to start a new group chat
with the intended recipients because removing/adding people is not supported.
